معرفی
Jan Egil Brattgjerd is an Associate Professor at Oslo Metropolitan University's Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Rehabilitation Science and Health Technology. He is affiliated with the Prosthetics and Orthotics Research groups and the Clinical interventions and assistive technology (CAT group), focusing on orthopedic biomechanics and surgical techniques.
Dr. Brattgjerd's research spans orthopedics, biomechanics, and traumatology with a particular emphasis on fracture management, surgical instrumentation, and medical device development. His work investigates hip and femoral fractures, pediatric orthopedics, knee arthroplasty, and innovative surgical techniques. He has made significant contributions to understanding bone fixation methods, including interlocked pins for femoral neck fractures and novel approaches to ligament balancing in knee surgery.
His recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate continued active research in biomechanical testing of orthopedic procedures, with studies on cross-pinning in pediatric fractures, acoustic emission technology for screw insertion monitoring, and precision improvements in intramedullary nailing. His research combines clinical application with rigorous biomechanical analysis using synthetic bone models, cadaveric studies, and clinical trials.
Dr. Brattgjerd collaborates extensively with orthopedic researchers across Norway, particularly with colleagues at OsloMet and other Norwegian institutions, contributing to both Scandinavian and international orthopedic literature through publications in journals such as Clinical Biomechanics, Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, and Bone & Joint Open.
